    Just when I thought the final touch was the new P7s, but I confess I'l take the tires over almost anything.

    I'll also confess I've been out to the garage several times just to look at them

    On the way to Dugan’s now.....

    So glad we met him, can’t wait for the end result. Thanks Joe! Bringing the Countachs to the next level with the P7s

    Your FLA12877 in Nero Tenebre/Nero will be stunning, as will GLA12888 in exactly the same livery just ahead of yours

    Besides the rubber compounds, I will check into the makeup of the tread-belt and sidewalls of the new tire and share what I learn

    This photo of Steve Downs new Downdraft that appeared in Performance Car magazine in early 1988 is one that make me appreciate the look of the P7 on the post-LP400 Countach.

    It underscores the car's purposeful stance and pulls together all the features we love.

    Lest we forget, Giampaolo Dallara designed the parallel-linked suspension for the P7, and Marcello Gandini styled the aggressively beautiful spats around the new wide wheels and the P7 tires

    I think you are right, what good is a Countach for a date if the brakes don't work?

    A good time to repost Andrew Yeadon's images which are exclusive to this thread, showing this customer-car Downdraft which was electronically timed to 180 mph, all the while shown some mechanical sympathy topping out @ 7,300. The results of Simon Fowler's own identically-specced Downdraft which has seen V-max many times, tested for AUTOCAR years later yielded slightly better results

    Yes Murcielago wheels on my 1991 Diablo, located in Houston. I am not on IG, so might be another car?
